Summer Garden Soup

We incorporate a cornucopia of ripe summer vegetables into this healthy, easy-to-make soup. Serve with our Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwiches. One half sandwich plus a serving of soup makes a hearty meal.

Remove 4 cups soup from saucepot. In blender, with center part of cover removed to allow steam to escape, blend the 4 cups soup, in small batches, until pureed. Return pureed soup to saucepot. Reheat soup to serve hot, or refrigerate to serve cold later. Garnish with basil.
